Manchester United vs. Tottenham Preview

Manchester United

The Red Devils played without goals against Newcastle, another poor display for Erik Ten Hag’s crew. After a pale, 1-0 win in the UEFA Europa League over Omonia, the fans expected to see their favorites bouncing back, yet that didn’t happen. 

United has four games in a row without a loss, winning three before Sunday’s result. Still, to be honest, only a draw against the Magpies is considered a big failure because the Red Devils already lost too many points since the start of the campaign.

Following wins over Liverpool and Arsenal at Trafford, the next three events in front of their own crowd weren’t that impressive for United. They would lose to Real Sociedad in the UEL, 0-1, then beat Omonia in the same competition and play without goals against Newcastle.

Tottenham

Three triumphs in a row brought the Spurs back on the right path. After beating Brighton at the Amex Stadium, 0-1, they ended up on the winning side against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League, 3-2. That win was worth gold for Conte’s unit because it gave them realistic chances for the knockout stage. 

This weekend’s hard-fought victory over Everton proved that the Spurs are on the rise. They did lose Richarlison, but Conte has enough depth on his roster to cover up the absence of the Brazilian.

Tottenham hasn’t been that confident on the road this year, winning just two events, and having the same number of defeats and three draws. Five of these seven games have been with under 2.5 goals, and that’s because Conte likes to lay back and wait for a chance to strike from the counter-attack.

Manchester United vs. Tottenham Head to Head

United was better than the Spurs on both occasions last year, winning 0-3 on the road and then 3-2 at home. We remember the game from October 2020, when the Spurs rolled over the rivals, beating them 1-6 in Manchester.

Manchester United vs. Tottenham Prediction

United is in trouble when it comes to scoring over these past few days, while on the other hand, the Spurs won’t be offensive-minded and eager to attack. This suggests that a low-scoring affair is ahead of us, with two goals at most.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
